    I Loved You
    By Alexander Pushkin

    I loved you, once: and love, it could well be,
    Within my soul lies unextinguished yet.
    But let the thought no longer trouble you.
    I would not bring you anguish or regret.
    I loved you with no words and to no end
    Now timorous, now jealous, pain by pain.
    I loved you though so tenderly, sincerely

    I hope to God you're loved like that again.

    Pushkin: DueTime (From Russian)
    Due Time
    By A.S. Pushkin
    Translated by A.Z. Foreman

    Click to hear me recite the original Russian

    Bound for your distant homeland's shore
    You left behind a foreign clime
    How long I wept before your eyes,
    That unforgotten, grievous time.

    Hands growing colder as they tried
    To hold you back with me a spell,
    My cry prayed you and heaven not
    To break the anguish of farewell.

    But from that moment's bitter kiss
    You tore away at last your face.
    Out of a realm of sullen exile
    You called me into different space.
    You said "When once again we meet
    Beneath a sky forever blue,
    By shade of olive trees, the kiss
    Of love shall reunite us two."

    But there, alas, where arching heavens
    Shine in a sparkle blue and deep
    Where olives shaded quiet waters
    You fell into the final sleep.
    Now all your beauty, your ordeals
    Are gone into the grave with you-
    And gone with them reunion's kiss
    But I still wait. It still is due.

    TheOriginal:

    "Для берегов отчизны дальной.."
    А.С. Пушкин

    Для берегов отчизны дальной
    Ты покидала край чужой;
    В час незабвенный, в час печальный
    Я долго плакал пред тобой.
    Мои хладеющие руки
    Тебя старались удержать;
    Томленье страшное разлуки
    Мой стон молил не прерывать.

    Но ты от горького лобзанья
    Свои уста оторвала;
    Из края мрачного изгнанья
    Ты в край иной меня звала.
    Ты говорила: «В день свиданья
    Под небом вечно голубым,
    В тени олив, любви лобзанья
    Мы вновь, мой друг, соединим».

    Но там, увы, где неба своды
    Сияют в блеске голубом,
    Где тень олив легла на воды,
    Заснула ты последним сном.
    Твоя краса, твои страданья
    Исчезли в урне гробовой —
    А с ними поцелуй свиданья…
    Но жду его; он за тобой…
